I was just reading through some old messages (May, June 2002) and saw that some people might be interested in (cheap) software that can create PDF files from Word documents.

Unless you want to fork out hundreds to Adobe, the answer lies in pdf995. You can download it for free, in which case it is ad-supported software. Or, as the name suggests, you can pay $9.95 to get rid of the ads.

PerfectIt helps deliver error-free documents. It improves consistency, ensures quality and helps to enforce style guides. It’s a powerful tool for pro users, and comes with the assurance of a 30-day money back guarantee.
